MaxTelCom to Send Russian Internet Speed Racing

The founders of MaxTelCom believe their technology can bring fiber-optic networks to every apartment and office, which will boost the quality and speed of the internet by dozens if not hundreds of times compared to what we are familiar with today.

With MaxTelCom planning to make it’s international debut in 2015, the startup firm has developed fundamentally new fiber fusion splicers that are qualitatively on par with global competitors and several times cheaper.

Fiber has yet to penetrate apartments and offices due to the high cost of equipment, the inconvenience of installation in buildings and its high levels of energy consumption.

This certainly appears the prefect revelation in which to start the new year as existing internet users around the world are connected via copper networks.

The new fiber fusion splicers substantially speed up the process of replacing copper networks with fiber-optic networks. This, in turn, means fiber-optic networks will become more affordable and internet speed and quality will rise dramatically.

MaxTelCom’s first experimental model is called Zero (For further information click the link and turn to page 13). Weighing in at 800 grams, the device appearance is that of a small laptop computer with a touch screen and includes relevant software.

“That equipment weighs between two and 10 kilograms and measures 120 by 160 millimeters,” MaxTelCom CEO Nikolai Ivanov says.

“Our advantage is that the device will be convenient, have an understandable interface and any system administrator without a technical education will be able to work with it,” Ivanov says. “In addition to that, the equipment will have a removable cartridge designed to perform 500 splicing procedures. Thanks to that, the client won’t have to pay for expensive service maintenance. We, in turn, will derive our main income from the sales of components instead of the apparatus itself.”

The new year may prove difficult for Russian businesses as the country enters recession for the first time since 2009. However, if MaxTelCom’s technology proves as successful as the founders claim surely there will be not shortage of willing investors.
